 Learn these classroom objects. You will be tested on them in the next lesson.
1) Look, cover, say and check. Cover the English phrases and look at the French phrases. Can you remember
what they are? Do this several times until you have remembered them all. This may take a long time, but
keep going – it will get easier!

2) RACAWAC ! (Read And Cover And Write And Check) When you have remembered most of them, test
yourself. Cover the English phrases, look at the French phrases and write the English in the box in pencil.
Check your answers. If you got an answer right, tick the I know it! box. If you didn’t get it right, rub out
your answer and learn it again. Keep going until you have ticked all the I know it boxes.

3) Take a break! It is important to take a break and test yourself again later. You may find you have forgotten
some, so try again. This time it won’t take you as long to learn them!

asked to do some of these tasks in your next lesson, so learn them properly!

Grammaire 
 The usual way to form the plural of a French noun is to add -s on the end – just as in English.
 You also have to remember that the article before the noun (e.g. le, un) changes according to
whether the noun is singular or plural.

A Make each noun plural.
